Causes
- HDL cholesterol is a positive cardiac risk factor if
- HDL < 35 mg/dL
- Total cholesterol to HDL ratio in > 5.0 (in men)
- Total cholesterol to HDL ratio in > 4.5 (in women)
- Negative cardiac risk factor if HDL > 60 mg/dL
Decreased
- Apolipoprotein deficiency: Hypoalphalipoproteinemia can be of three types.
- Impaired synthesis of apo A-1: apo A-1 deficiency, apo A-1/C-3 deficiency, apo A-1 structural variants
- Increased catabolism: familial HDL deficiency, Tangier disease
